A Doctors Bill in Brazil.

Brazilian doctors are as eccentric in their
charges as the people are in their desire to
enjoy the pleasure of being let alone. The
physicians do not regulate their charges by
the time and labor they have expended in the
patients service, but by the estimated value
of his life AS this value is determined by
the patients income, he, if he survives, is
treated by the doctor as wreckers treat a
stranded ship-the greater the value, the
larger the salvage.
A young English engineer, while engaged
in some work in the vicinity of Rio, was at
tackled by yellow fever. A doctor of good
repute attended him, and on his recovery de-
manded fee of 5000. The young engineer
demonstrated and threatened to appeal to the
courts. But friends who had resorted to
these tribunals for redress advised him to
have nothing TO do with the law. He acted
upon their counsel and paid the doctors
bill.

The Quiet Girl.

The quiet girl never wears high colors on
the streets you do not see her Haunting in
brilliant plaids. when they happen to be the
style; when high hats are lin" she does not
pile hers so high that IL sweeps the cobwebs
from the sky che does net wear an exagger-
ated bang when the bang is in vogue, nor the
biggest hustle in town, nor the longest train
to her tea gown, nor the greatest number Of
bangles when bangles reign. But because
she does not chatter and giggle and make
herself conspicuous in horse cars or at mat
inees, does not announce her convictions on
all occasions and al subjects, and profess her
admiratons at every hands turn, it must not
be supposed that she has no ideas or convic-
tions or enthusiasms; that she moves along
like star In the heavens, which obeys the
laws Of gravitation without selecting its
course, or Directing to its orbit. She is quiet
because she has no power to make herself
heard to change her conditions, or because
she is maturing that power. In the mean
time it is the quiet girl who marries earliest,
who makes the best match, who fills the
inches which her more brilliant sisters leave
vacant, who manages the servants, runs the
sewing machine, remembers the birthdays,
listens to the "reminiscences of the old, and
often keeps the wolf from the door.

Cornish Fisher Folk.

The Cornish fishermen are a splendid race;
sober, industrious and Godfearing. The
Sunday is invariably kept with decorum and
solemnity, During my weeks sojourn among
them neither saw tipsy person nor heard
an oath. There is no "larking," no horse
play, no music-hall songs. The whole ma
ture of the people seems to be chastened and
subdued by their uncertain, hazardous and
laborious calling, and the ever-abding pres
ence of the great wide sea. For hours and
hours they will stand in little groups on the
quay or beach talking gravely, in undertones,
or gazing intently on the scene before them
specializing on the various craft that glide
past as in the silence of dream.

tiOn.
BIDDEFORD, April l6.

BIDDEFoRD, April 16.
Inc full particulars of the Kennebunkpor,
lire, as obtained on the scene of the conA.o
ration BY an Associated Press reporter, are
as follows: The fire started Just before
midnight in the skating rink owned bv Geo,
r. and Wilson Lawrence, situated ON Water
street on the bank OF the river. When dis.
covered the fire had communicated with an
OLD stable adjoining and it quickly spread to
the dwelling house of Mrs. Mary Leach
Only one small hand tub i. owned in the
town, and that was kept working until every
well and cistern in the heart of the village
was emptied. Then it was taken to the
wharf and kept in operation until the fire wa.
under control. At three A. NJ. the Biddeford
steam engine and the Kennebunk hand engine
were telegraphed for, but arrived too late to
De OF much service. The fire was famed by
strong southwest wind and DESTROYED four.
teen buildings. including the rink, engine
house, five dwellings, the Spring hotel and
several smaller buildings.
The total loss will be about fifteen thou
sand dollars, not over one. fifth of which is
covered by insurance. That the fire was OF
incendiary origin there can be no doubt
The rink had not been used for month and
the building burned with surprising rapidity,
indicating that combustible matter was used
to increase the flames. A prominent citizen
in town says he saw a suspicious character in
the vicinity of the rink, few minutes after
the fire was discovered, and when spoken to,
the fellow broke into a run across the bridge.
The confagration occurred at the worst pos
sible time of night, as the tide was too low
to allow the engine to obtain water at the
wharf. Several families are rendered home
less. Rumors of steps towards investigating
the cause of the fire are current.
The losses are as follows: Skating rink,
loss $4,000, insured; Perkins stable; Oliver
Davis house, loss $1,000, insurance $ll0O;
Davis shop. value $500, no insurance. Mrs.
Leachs house, value 5000, insurance 500.

Engine house, value $500, insurance $4OO.

The Times suggests that the signature was

1875 'S2, without an address, is as follows:
